Call management systems and methods

Abstract

Call management systems and methods are provided. The call management system includes a touch-sensitive display unit, and a processing unit. The touch-sensitive display unit displays data including at least a body and a phone number, and receives a selection corresponding to the phone number. In response to the selection corresponding to the phone number, the processing unit automatically dials according to the phone number, and displays the body of the data during dialing via the touch-sensitive display unit.

1 . A call management system for use in an electronic device, comprising:
 a touch-sensitive display unit displaying data, and receiving a selection corresponding to a phone number, wherein the data comprises a body and the phone number; and   a processing unit automatically dialing according to the phone number in response to the selection corresponding to the phone number, and simultaneously displaying the body of the data during dialing via the touch-sensitive display unit.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the processing unit dials to a conference bridge according to the phone number, and the processing unit further simultaneously displays an authentication code input interface with the body via the touch-sensitive display unit. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the processing unit dials to a conference bridge according to the phone number, and the processing unit further recognizes an authentication code from the body, and automatically inputs the authentication code to the conference bridge after a call corresponding to the conference bridge is established. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the data comprises an email message, a calendar, or a calendar notification. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the data is provided by a first application, and the processing unit originally executes the first application, and automatically switches to execute a second application from the first application in response to the selection corresponding to the phone number, and dials according to the phone number in the second application. 
     
     
         6 . A call management method for use in an electronic device, comprising:
 displaying data, wherein the data comprises a body and a phone number;   receiving a selection corresponding to the phone number;   in response to the selection corresponding to the phone number, automatically dialing according to the phone number; and   simultaneously displaying the body of the data during dialing.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the phone number is used to connect with a conference bridge, and the method further comprises a step of simultaneously displaying an authentication code input interface with the body. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the phone number is used to connect with a conference bridge, and the method further comprises steps of:
 recognizing an authentication code from the body; and   automatically inputting the authentication code to the conference bridge after a call corresponding to the conference bridge is established.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the data comprises an email message, a calendar, or a calendar notification. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the data is provided by a first application, and a second application is automatically switched to execute from the first application in response to the selection corresponding to the phone number, and the dialing is performed according to the phone number in the second application. 
     
     
         11 . A machine-readable storage medium comprising a computer program, which, when executed, causes a device to perform a call management method, and the method comprises:
 displaying data, wherein the data comprises a body and a phone number;   receiving a selection corresponding to the phone number;   in response to the selection corresponding to the phone number, automatically dialing according to the phone number; and   simultaneously displaying the body of the data during dialing.
